Greetings
from London! By the time this email hits your inbox, I can guarantee I’ll already be off exploring. As everyone back in Newark can tell you, I’ve been talking about this trip a lot over the past month—and it’s even showed in my listening choices. It’s kind of like studying up for a big test, but much more fun. As we started planning this trip, my boyfriend and I became completely obsessed with London Made Us by Robert Elms. It explores the evolution, diaspora, and eventual gentrification of London, offering a wholly unique glimpse into the city’s history (including a shout-out to my old neighborhood!). Plus, it also happens to provide copious inspiration for the long list of things we’ll want to do during our travels. It’s only been five years since my last trip out, but if Robert Elms has imparted anything, it’s that time has the power to change just about everything.- Michael, Audible editor

Historia
Does nature really make us feel better? The 3-Day Effect takes a look at the science behind why being in the wild can make us happier, healthier, and more creative. Whether it’s rafting down Utah’s Green River, hiking in Utah’s wilderness, or walking through Rock Creek Park in Washington, DC, scientists are finding that the more exposure humans have to nature, the more we can benefit from reduced anxiety, enhanced creativity, and overall well-being.

Spring showers bring...
…lots of flowers! Spring has officially sprung, and I for one am so excited for winter to be over. With warmer temperatures just on the horizon, I can’t wait to start spending more time outside in nature. Whether I’m out for a walk or working on my green thumb (and trust me, I’ve got a long way to go), I’ll take just about any excuse to get outside during this time of year. Because let’s face it, who doesn’t get a little stir-crazy during winter?

Historia
Women growing older contend with ageism, misogyny and loss. Yet as Mary Pipher shows, most older women are deeply happy and filled with gratitude for the gifts of life. Their struggles help them grow into the authentic, empathetic and wise people they have always wanted to be. In Women Rowing North, Pipher offers a timely examination of the cultural and developmental issues women face as they age.

Historia
From the Sunday Times top ten bestselling author of The Psychopath Test, a captivating and brilliant exploration of one of our world's most underappreciated forces: shame. 'It's about the terror, isn't it?' 'The terror of what?' I said. 'The terror of being found out.' For the past three years, Jon Ronson has travelled the world meeting recipients of high-profile public shamings. The shamed are people like us - people who, say, made a joke on social media that came out badly, or made a mistake at work.

Historia
The US tax code is a total write-off. Overstuffed with loopholes and special interest provisions, it works for no one - except tax lawyers, accountants, and corporations, that is - certainly not me and you. Not for the first time, we have to tear it up and start over. That happened in 1922, and again in 1954, and again in 1986. There's a pattern here; we reach this point every 32 years. Which means the next complete re-write of the tax code is due in 2018. Can we write a new tax code that is fair and simple? In fact, we can.

Let’s get down to business
I’m going to be totally honest with you all—I still haven’t filed my taxes. With tax day looming, I know I have to get around to it sooner rather than later. But until that moment comes…let’s listen to a book about taxes! You have my word that it’s a much more enjoyable alternative.

Historia
One of the most feared Chicago mobsters, Sam Giancana, clawed his way to the top of the Mafia hierarchy by starting as a hit man for Al Capone. He was known as one of the best vehicle escape artists, a tenacious business man, and a ruthless killer. He partied with major stars such as Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe and did business with agents ranging from the CIA to the Vatican to the shah of Iran. When politician Joe Kennedy gave Giancana the chance to use mob muscle to get his son John elected, Giancana jumped at the task.

For too long, scientists have focused on the dark side of our biological heritage: our capacity for aggression, cruelty, prejudice, and self-interest. But natural selection has given us a suite of beneficial social features, including our capacity for love, friendship, cooperation, and learning. Beneath all our inventions - our tools, farms, machines, cities, nations - we carry with us innate proclivities to make a good society.
